I'm expecting a little boy in November. I graduated in 2004 with a B.A. in English and work as a library assistant at my alma mater's library. If I'm not reading -- which I usually am -- you can find me baking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidering, thrifting, blogging, writing poetry and consuming mass quantities of coffee. I have an unhealthy obsession with all things Sylvia Plath. Homepagehttp://blogjar.blogspot.com Membership Real nameAmanda A. LocationGeorgia Favorite authorsNot set Account typepublic, lifetime URLs

A Penny to Spend
By
Rose Fyleman
The fairies have never a penny to spend,
They haven't a thing put by,
But theirs is the dower of bird and flower
And theirs is the earth and sky.
And though you should live in a palace of gold
Or sleep in a dried up ditch,
You could never be as poor as the fairies are,
And never as rich.
Since ever and ever the world began
They danced like a ribbon of flame,
They have sung their song through the centuries long
And yet it is never the same.
And though you be foolish or though you be wise,
With hair of silver or gold,
You can never be as young as the fairies are,
And never as old.
